Working for Good ANNUAL REPORT 2018
GOODWILL OF CENTRAL AND COASTAL VIRGINIA
Working for Good
September 2019
Despite low unemployment rates in Virginia, thousands of people in our communities still face challenges to securing and maintaining employment. The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is twice the rate of those without disabilities. At the same time, employers in many sectors are continuing to experience extreme difficulties recruiting and retaining a strong and stable workforce.
The good news?
Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia plays a leading role in preparing job seekers and matching them with employers who are ready to hire.
In 2018, we helped 1,644 individuals secure employment in a wide variety of industries. That’s more than four people per day whose lives changed through the power of work.
Thanks to your support, Goodwill provides workforce development services for people who have a wide range of needs: people who have disabilities, language barriers, limited education, gaps in employment or who lack skills and credentials.
Our career advisors work one-on-one to discover job seekers’ aspirations and experience, and together they develop individualized career plans. We offer training programs -- at no charge -- to help job seekers acquire skills, confidence and job readiness.
We also introduced a new role in 2018--Success Coaches--to ensure even more long-term success. In many cases, people don’t lose jobs because of poor performance. They lose jobs because of breakdowns in major life factors such as transportation, childcare or illness. Our success coaches help them navigate these challenges.
Whether you shop, donate or partner with Goodwill, thank you.
Together we are working for good.

Coaching for Good When Dorenzo Cyril Moody began working at Goodwill in 2014, the organization’s mission of changing lives…helping people help themselves through the power of work resonated strongly with him. “I was amazed that there was an organization that had a mission statement that I believed in,” said Moody. “My personal mission was similar to what I saw at Goodwill, that work gives purpose to your life.”
In his five-year tenure, Moody has provided career development services for job seekers, and recently transitioned to a became a success coach. In his new role, Moody supports individuals after they are placed into employment to help them overcome obstacles — personal or professional — that may jeopardize their employment stability. His peer-to-peer style support enables him to connect with participants, foster a positive attitude and put people in touch with resources they may need to develop sustainable, long-term change in their lives.
“Working for Goodwill allows me to target what I consider to be three main barriers that most people face at some point in their Dorenzo Moody
lives: Employment, the lack of or need of; transportation, which is a big deal; and lastly, a place to live," said Moody. "I’ve overcome those challenges in my life, so I’m able to give back now.”
Moody suffered from depression in his late-20s, leading to an eight-year battle with homelessness. A manager who took a chance on him enabled Moody to take the first steps to rebuilding his life after he hit rock bottom. Now, Moody uses his experience to remain humble in his work, build trust with the participants in his case load and help them break down their barriers to success into manageable steps.
Moody has helped many people at Goodwill, but one individual stands out to him. A job seeker asked for Moody by name at Goodwill, stating that he had been given his information while incarcerated. After 35 years in prison, the man was struggling to find work, write a resume or even use an iPhone. Starting with a positive mindset, Moody assured the man that they would “figure it out.” After working through a career plan and redeveloping his resume together, they found an employer who was ready to take a chance on someone trying hard to rebuild his life. "Work gives purpose to your life," says Moody, who passes that message on to job seekers.
"Goodwill really does change lives through the power of work," said Moody.
ANNUAL REPORT 2019
Empowering for Good When Helen “Page” Powell joined Goodwill six years ago, she was looking for a “good, healthy change." As part of Goodwill's group supported employment program for individuals with disabilities, Powell found that change in a collaborative, supportive environment and now works as a textile hanger at Goodwill’s Lynnhaven retail store in Virginia Beach. She has come a long way from being an occasional Goodwill shopper, looking for cute teacups and water bottles, to an enthusiastic associate with a job in which she thrives.
Powell is funny and sociable, and she enjoys making her coworkers laugh. She said that she is focused on her personal development and improving her performance at work. Helen "Page" Powell
Powell has worked with Tasha Greene, a Goodwill employment skills trainer, throughout her entire Goodwill career. The focused support Greene offers has helped Powell to excel in her role, as well as learn how to navigate complex inter-personal relationships in the workplace.
“Page continues to flourish and has limitless capacity for greatness,” said Greene. “She has been able to exhibit versatility in the manipulation of tasks throughout the store and continues to make progress with her ability to effectively maintain positive relationships. It is one of my greatest pleasures to see someone be able to live their best life and I get to witness this on a regular basis with Page,” added Greene.
Powell’s life goal (besides becoming famous one day) is to expand her horizons for advocating. She is passionate about disability employment issues, joining local advocacy group “Our Voices” and speaking to the Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia Board of Directors on her experiences and challenges. Previously, she has spoken at the “Polar Plunge,” an annual fund-raising event in Hampton Roads that she partakes in almost every year, as well as the Special Olympics, in which she is a long-time competitor. After speaking at several advocacy group events, Powell wants people to know “I do have a purpose; my purpose is to help other people with different kinds of disabilities, to help them to find a job.”
Her favorite Goodwill core values are respect and integrity, and she strives to model them in her behavior. Powell said she is empowered by her employment and strongly believes in Goodwill’s mission of helping people help themselves through the power of work.

Partnering for Good “Giving back to the community is important to us, and working with Goodwill was a natural extension of that. We are excited to partner with Goodwill to hire people who are in transition and need training. Some are in unique situations and we are willing to be creative to help them get to that next level.”
